Heider Super Torch?

Has anyone seen or heard of these before?

For $50 it seems like it might not be a bad little light.

The shape of the torch is based on an old Nitecore design. I've seen these doing the rounds on the likes of eBay and DX. Innards and prices vary, I believe Captain Spaulding bought some.

Got these today. Super cheap, but there pretty bright. $3.50 each.

STAY AWAY. MAJOR RIP OFF. :ahhh

That's actually a SIPIK SK68 clone with an insane markup. :facepalm: Regular price is about $6. I think quite a few members here have that one.

Yes, these type of torches cost around $4- $8.

I have the odd one, they are very good and use both Li-Ions and AA batteries.

Buy one, but not for that price.

Even with a multimode output and a 14500/charger included that light shouldn't break $20 at the very, very high end.

Thanks for the info.  I was asking for a friend of mine who thought they looked interesting and was about to place an order for four of them.  You all just saved him $200!  He says thank you.  :D

The single mode Sipik is quite a good light.  I just gave one to a friend that does a lot of travelling and sometimes ends up in seedy motels.
